Purpose of an Anal Lube Applicator
When you stuff something into the one-way sphincter, you'll have sort of a squeegee effect. Inserting the butt plug can wipe off the anal lubricant can pretty much render your application useless. You'll end up with wet butt cheeks and a dry rectum. That's not good. That's where lube applicators come into play, the anal lube applicator quite literally prevents a mess.
Lube needs to be injected inside the rectum and spread evenly throughout the deep and narrow canal in order for you to enjoy sex toy insertion and penetrative sex. How's the best time to have the aptly named lube launcher nearby to make application super easy without any mess or fuss.
So how do you use this applicator device to make rectal exploration more enjoyable? What is a lube shooter anal anyway? How to I unlock orgasmic potential of penetrative anal sex to make it slick and slippery?
Improving Anal Lube Insertion
Anal shooters are absolutely essential to enhance your anal sexual pleasure. Any thick water based or silicone based gel formula is extremely important to reduce friction between the delicate tissue back there and whatever implement you're trying to insert for sexual pleasure.
Your partner's penis, a butt plug, any sex toy really, it doesn't matter: the anus cannot lubricate itself like a vagina can. You'll need to lend a helping hand via anal lube insertion with a lube injector loaded with a good dollop of viscous gel before you get started with butt stuff.
Anal lube is thicker than other regular personal lubricants and sex toy lube. Of course you can always apply your favorite brand of sexual lube in the back door entry, but it gets quite tight back there. Think about it all from an anatomical point of view and you'll quickly realize the anus is essentially a one-way sphincter.
Application doesn't necessarily have to go deep however, the whole point of the device it to inject the thick fluid just inside the sphincter to reduce friction at the entry. Furthermore, you can use it in the vagina too. This is especially useful for menopausal women who experience dryness during intercourse.
Using a Lube Injector for Vaginal Sex
Women who have vaginal dryness due to menopause benefit from using a lube injector before penetrative vaginal sex. The syringe can be inserted as deep into the vagina as desired to thoroughly lubricate the tissue within so that during sexual intercourse, there is minimal friction between the partner's penis and the vagina.
We suggest purchasing a large lube syringe because there is more interior volume inside the vagina compared to the anus, so you can wet it well before penetrative sex and use as much lube as you want. Do you want to enjoy self love with a dildo or vibrator? Use the syringe to inject lube into the vagina for better sexual pleasure before using sex toys too or cum lube injection in a squirting dildo.
Pro Tip: Applying water based gel lube with a launcher before inserting a big or thick vibrator will make it more comfortable and limit the risk of tearing sensitive vaginal tissue when stuffing in a huge sex toy. It's a safer way to enjoy massive vibrators while fulfilling your erotic fantasy.
Using a Lube Injector with a Pocket Pussy
The most popular and realistic of all sex toys for men, the fake pocket pussy vagina is a male masturbator designed to imitate real life sex. The only problem is that unlike a real person, these masturbators are not pre-lubricated. Using a lube syringe to inject lube inside the pleasure tunnel will add more realism and comfort to your masturbation.
It's essential to lubricate a pocket pussy (or any masturbation sleeve for that matter) before inserting your erection because the dry material will encounter friction with your skin. The material can over stress and if it's pulled to hard, it can crack or tear.
Instructions are simple: Load the lube launcher, insert deep into the pussy and/or anal entry holes, press the syringe and slowly draw it outwards to distribute the liquid evenly throughout the interior.
Anal Lube Shooter Benefits
Even though using a lube shooter is good for male sex toys and vaginal sex, the most common use of a lube applicator to lubricate deep inside the rectum before using anal toys or before anal sex.
Is an anal shooter just a frivolous, unnecessary add-on? Personally, I don't think so. I use an anal injector at home with my butt toys. It just makes everything a bit easier.
If you try to inject anal lube by pushing it in with your finger, a minimal volume of liquid actually makes it through the entry hole. The rest kinda oozes out, hence my term “the squeegee effect”. Here's a few more reasons why it's a good idea to have an anal lube applicator at hand before engaging on back door foreplay or anal sex:
- Prevents the squeegee effect that occurs from external anal lube application.
- The only way to thoroughly lubricate deep inside the rectum.
- Heavily lubricating the anus makes penetration more comfortable.
- Makes butt plug training more pleasurable.
- Reduces friction during initial insertion which prevents the tissue from tearing.
- Reduces lubricant waste – pinpoint application uses less volume of liquid to get the job done.
- Can be used to load lube into a pocket pussy or male masturbator (since the entry hole is normally tight and small).
